House of Reps Passes Trump’s ‘One Big, Beautiful Bill’
House passes Trump budget bill blocking state AI regulation for decade.
President Trump's budget reconciliation bill, AKA the 'One Big, Beautiful Bill', has been narrowly passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Why it matters:
The bill prevents any "State or political subdivision" from enforcing any law that could regulate AI models, AI systems or automated decision-making processes for the next 10 years.
As per Digital Music News, this would "not only block new state laws but also nullify hundreds of existing and pending measures" designed to protect those in the creative industries.
This includes addressing measures like deepfakes, unauthorized use of likeness and AI-enabled impersonation.
The provision has been opposed by a "bipartisan coalition" of 40 state attorneys and more than 140 organizations "representing civil society, technologists, and creative workers who would be impacted by such a moratorium."
What's next:
The bill moves to the Senate.
